Re: Reds vs. Cardinals Monday 4/9

It would be nice to see Mr. Peripherals have a strong outing tonight. The bullpen is probably short for this game.
Chapman - Two innings on Sunday. Definitely out.
Ondrusek - Pitched two games in a row. Probably out.
Lecure - Shaky spring and first regular season appearance. 2011 Lecure come out, come out wherever you are.
Simon - Shaky first outing. Still a big question mark IMO.
Bray - For reasons known only to Dusty cannot pitch past the 6th inning.

So after the 7th inning it looks like Arredondo and Marshall.

Here is hoping Homer can give 7 strong innings. Arredondo works the 8th and Marshall closes things out. Sounds good to me.

Re: Reds vs. Cardinals Monday 4/9

I would love to see Berkman's reaction when he looks at the lineup card and sees his name is not on it. This is Cincinnati and I'm not playing!!?!@!?? LOL.

We now know Matheny is not a number's guy. One of the premier Reds' killers of the past decade and he is sitting on the bench. Right where Reds' fans want him.

He's not a numbers guy? He benched Berkman yesterday because he had a bad record vs. the Brews' starter, and presumably to get rookie Matt Carpenter some playing time. Carpenter wore the collar. He was the only Card w/o a hit in the blowout.
